The app carries an elegant interface that at first glance might seem minimalist and basic. A minimalist interface that hides an impressive number of tools and features This is what Shutter Encoder will basically allow you to do, thanks to an extensive range of features that were designed to provide manipulation for some of the most commonly used media formats. Therefore, if you use numerous, image, video or audio formats, it can be really tricky to find a centralized software for handling all of them from a single place. That is the only positive thing I can mention.Multimedia encompasses an exhaustive range of diverse file formats, each with its different characteristics and so-called “quirks”. I just can't rely on it.įortunately, it is free.

Results are not good enough for my work flow, especially since I am not always sure of the results. My conclusion, Shutter Encoder has an unusable interface for me and functions very poorly. Sometimes dealbreakers, sometimes small but annoying problems. There are many other things I discovered along the way that did not work well or correctly. Nothing was still responding and only a Force Quit was needed. I also experienced 2 times, after more than 30 minutes of encoding, that the program just froze.

Trimming does not always happen at the time you specified - up to sometimes 1 second difference. Sometimes you see obvious hickups at the point where the files are merged together.īut also you then see stuttering playback on either QT player or the VLC player. Merging/merging media files doesn't work well either. To be honest, these serious problems do not happen with all source files but they do happen (at random?). Especially if you use 5.1 audio.Īlso you sometimes hear small crackles/clicks in the audio. Sometimes even with major problems like audio syncronization problems. Why can't people make a native looking program? This is where Shutter Encoder flagrantly fails! It has the ugliest, unclear un-intuitive interface that I have ever seen/used. So I also expect programs on macOS to work as they should and conform to macOS guidelines in terms of UI. I am basically still testing many programs now to see what is good and bad. The OS interface is joy to use if you had used Windows for a long time. Coming from Windows, it was quite a relief. The header says 'The professional compression tool'.
